Es ist gekommen! X-Factor Ace, Royal/Cherry/Lime

Hallo ihr alle da draussen...endlich ist es da...The X-Factor Ace! I think i'm going to be raving about this ball for quite awhile after this...because i've finally moved high-end!! Whooo! Haha. What's about high-end? It's about being flashy and playing the inside angle. About huge hooks which snap into the pockets and clear the racks. And of course, about burning holes in your wallets. I feel as though i've just been robbed. Sigh. haha.

Anyway, the Ace is Cherry, Lime, and Royal... which don't make for a very good colour combination...it's not a very pretty ball so i wonder what Storm is thinking. Colour combinations are becoming worse and worse these days...i thought Blue/Purple/whatever with Gold would be a classic. Like my Scout. Anyway. The Ace reeks of Wintergreen (read: root beer) and mine has a bright fluorescent yellow thumb and orange fingers. It's always a good combi because these colours show up well when your ball revs well...ooo yeah man...like Johnny's Phenom...everytime i see him bowl his ball it's like...woah man...the ideal bowler. He wasn't NJC's bowling capt for nothing, ye...

So i got the ball drilled at Victor's today...wanted to try it out there but then all the lanes were taken by some filipino company...bleah...so i hoofed it to Chevrons instead...where i hit the lanes. The Ace, being 11 ounces heavier than the Scout...means that i can't rev it very well...giving the ball overall low revs with medium speed (yes i cut my speed already!)

How? woah. the ball snaps. From board 20 to the outside and the inside move...it's explosive too...but i guess currently the ball's still new so you never know what happens huh? What's more...i don't know how bowling with root beer scents is going to affect you. I think the revs are something i'll gradually get used to...they're not all that bad and i got quite an okay average...

The Scout? Relegated lor. Cross pocket. 10-pin. difficult single-pin shots. Can't let go of a ball who's been of service that easily.

BATTLE KING awaits!
